If this pleases you, then know the Colorado General Assembly is now in session! It is a part time legislature. So act now.

Register to vote and learn about who your rep is.

It is very easy to sign up to testify in support of or against bills “Remotely via Zoom” on the below link.

It’s really important to support good bills, like loan repayment programs for mental health workers, universal healthcare reforms, and increasing housing equity. And it’s just as vital to stand against bills like income tax cuts (like in Texas), which runs against how Colorado finances work, and only benefit the wealthy. And bills seeking to take away voting rights, or curtail mail ballots.

Colorado lawmaking is wild. It’s the first time democrats have had a majority in several ways, but it is also a microcosm for the political/culture war bs that plagues the nation.

Positive social change is a lunch pail job, day in and day out.
